The short answer is no way. If there's a source bug you just send a bug report to the maintainer/author of the package and patiently wait for a resolution.
Formally, if ./configure reports no problem, but make fails, it IS a maintainer's problem. It should not happen.
Yep. My wife's PC is running KDE, so I ssh-d to it and tried to build kdenlive-0.5.1.
First, configure complained mlt-config is missing but still finished with success message.
Compile fails.
Installed MLT.
Configure gives no errors.
Compile stops, complaining cannot find mlt++.h.
Installed mlt++.
It builds fine.
As Uncle_Theodore said, it's not ready for production use.
Ah i believe its under the name 'libmlt' so i installed libmlt-dev and libmlt++ but now i get the following.

Now i am using gnome not KDE but shouldn't make a difference...
Run 'unsermake clean' and ./configure again and look carefully at output. Something else is missing in your box. (I couldn't build it in my box, I have no QT.)
